They have no obligation to WotC. WotC has no authority. This is not the case in Living games and convention games where the FAQ is by agreement accepted as the authority. Those are a fraction of the games played.And similarly how the FAQ should remain faithful to the rules text lest it be mistrusted, DMs need be careful how they exert their authority lest the preside over an empty gaming table.Eratta are a change of the rules text. The FAQ is available as clarification of the text. There is a huge difference between the two. And as much as I feel towards the FAQ, that's nothing compared to my opinions of CustServ.Bravo. You won't get much change from a $50 bill with this sentence.If this poster is able to support his position within the rulebooks, then his agreement with the FAQ is superfluous. If he is unable to support his argument, or only able to support it by presenting the FAQ, then his argument isn't worth the paper it isn't printed on.Similarly, if the objecting poster in your example disagrees with the FAQ simply to disagree with the FAQ, and cannot by application of the core rules refute the argument, his opinion is equally worthless.</blockquote>
